And no doubt, that's where they hold the giant robot matches

BUBBLES: "Halt! What's the password?"
CLAIRE: "'Zordon sent me'."
BUBBLES: "Pass, friend!"
MARTEN: "How did you know...?"
CLAIRE: "Clinton is my brother!"
MARTEN: "Ooohhh...!"
Rghfrgl:
The robots are in the main story, so we have to use humans for our random cutaway instead.

First one I've found. Pretty sure there's an earlier one.

Nope, that's the one Jeph was likely referencing.

Worse, given his calm and resigned reaction, it's a 'bound to happen eventually' scenario. Secondly, Marten actually has thought about how she would do it! I'm not sure that I'd like to live with that sort of drama hanging over me!

If AIs have full civil rights, then deliberately destroying one would count as murder. Saying that, I imagine that would be quite hard. Perhaps they can restore from a remote backup even if their current chassis is obliterated. That would account for Marten's calmness at the prospect.
snubnose:
Now that Faye has left Coffee of Doom, will we even get new strips with CoD ? I think theres a good chance Dora and her shop will slowly fade out of QC now.

Destroying an AI means deleting it from a harddrive, not destroying a chassis.
And QC has joked about murder since early on. Murder of real people, not only AIs. This is just another example.
